Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To explore male human papillomavirus (HPV) contemporary genotyping epidemiology and correlations to peniscopy, cytology, and histopatology.
METHODS: Medical records of patients who had been submitted to HPV infection screening with genotyping, peniscopy, cytology, and histopathology in a period of 2 years were reviewed. Frequency analysis and correlations between the diagnostic tools were established.
RESULTS: Genotype of 1132 men resulted in 69.2% (784) positivity for HPV DNA, 78% classified as high risk of oncogenesis. Co-infections occurred in 429 (54.7%) and the most frequently identified types were HPV-6, HPV-42, and HPV-16, in 133 (17%), 94 (12%), and 86 (11%) patients, respectively. Positive/negative predictive values of peniscopy, cytology, and histopathology were 83/31%, 92/32%, and 87/33%, respectively. As a result, though significant, the correlations between genotype and non-molecular tests were poor.
CONCLUSIONS: In the current contemporary representative male cohort, over two thirds are positive for human HPV DNA, 78% of high risk and with over half co-infections. Though significant, its correlation with non-molecular tests is poor and while the positive predictive values of peniscopy, cytology, and histopatology are between 83% and 92%, their negative predictive values are as low as 31% to 33%.
